4 Best Craft Breweries near La Crosse

“The back patio is an great space to sit and talk, plenty of room, and variety of styles available“

“Great tasting brews, and wines. Bartenders are knowledgeable on what you may drink in their brewery. They are also knowledgeable about the local bars and restaurants in downtown La Crosse for food to go and enjoyment of the downtown area. I got to enjoy the taste of the Cherry Stout, roasty and chocolate malt character with just a kiss of dark sweet cherry, ABV 6.9%. On a personal note, it's a stout flavor, with the consistency of a Porter.“

“Sorry I did not post sooner. We were up for the Frostbite Beer Festival which was wonderful in its own right. We stayed at the Charmant Hotel which was just across the parking lot from Lacrosse Distilling. We had several meals there including a butternut squash pasta dish with shrimp that was phenomenal. Want to give a shout out to Addison behind the bar who was great. And Aaron too - the tour was awesome. I really enjoyed their barrel aged stout. It is on the thicker/more viscous side which I love. Thx for the tip on brewing this beer. Had several other beers which we also loved. Thank you again for a great time.“

“Pearl Street brewery is a pretty cool little brewery that moved into the old La Crosse boot factory; it's dark and industrial with low ceilings. They have lots of space with a little outdoor beer garden. They generally have 16 of their beers on tap with a few that well distributed. On my last stop they had lite, a lime, Brown, chocolate strawberry porter, orange hazy IPA, Hopped IPA, Pale Ale, amber wheat, hibiscus sour, citra IPA, Oat Stout, an aged sour, Belgian Quad, margarita sour, a double IPA, and a cucumber seltzer. The service and the patrons are friendly. It is worth a stop and you may catch a band on the right night.“
